I was wondering if anyone knows everything that is needed to convert a 96-00 civic hatch to Type-R. just for the parts that add performance from stock. not caring about interior and exterior because it will be a track car (H1). im just talking about performance wise. So far i know, we will need Engine which instead of the b16b, we will be going with ITR b18c5. and suspension, which will be rear disc conversion, etc. i searched thru hybridgarage and found some info about the motor. as far as i know i only need the 99-00 si rear mount and some wire harness mods. but for suspension it is kind of shady. I found a TypeR kit online but it is for Integra. I know they are similar but when it comes to type-r is it the same? and do i need to change anything else. Brakes & Suspension wise... we are just trying to get something to start with then go from there.

thanks for you input...

if your putting an ITR motor in it, and doin nothing inside and out, how is it a CTR?

 

its not going to be a real ctr. i mosty need to know information about suspension. its for performance... ctr parts bolt on.... 5 lug conversion, disc brakes in the back, etc...

mainly, we plan to combine the best of both worlds ITR, and CTR. But we are using the Hatch chasis for a reason... so to alter my question. which is the best way to go?

why don't you go with CTR???? In my opinion The Civic Type R cams are better then Integras.

 

because we will be competing with ITR's.

 

My car beats Integra Type r (well lost against 2 of them) and i only have civic type r piston over bored and knife edge crank and civic type r cams. but its cool, do whats best for you

 

we dont plan on racing in straight lines here...

 

are you doing like rally track type thing??

 

Track Racing. YES! mmmm.. HONDA CHALLENGE....

 

well ****, why didn't you say so. About that topic, i couldn't really help you. just beef up your suspension like crazy!!! Use redline oil that **** is good! (but mobil one is the best ****) redline gives more power and better response

 

yea. that is one of the reasons we will be doing the Type-R Suspension conversion. but im still wondering what all needs to be swapped out...

 

If you're going track racing, I would highly suggest you read up on the rules and regulations concerning your class. Then you can go about extracting HP out of it.

 

i think i can get you a brand new 0 miles integra type r motor. but i don't know if it comes with all the ecu,axles,andtranny. but the motor has 0 miles. i think for 4500 bucks. if you are intrest in it let me know

 

to bad they did not come out with the USDM CTR... so with the type R motor we will be jumping directly into H1 class so from there we can pretty much do anything. it does however need to stay N/A so no turbos, etc... with track its H1-H4. H4 being pretty much bone stock off the showroom floor...

 

if you could email your info about the motor we may be interested.... ioptix619@yahoo
